The player character is an individual, not the borg

I know the Ashringer would turn undead to ash but other then that I know the light is painful to undead. But here is something I found that is interesting .

There was an explanation of how the Holy Light works in the Warcraft universe from the DnD Warcraft book that really stuck with me. From what I remember and understand, the Light worked mostly from belief itself. The stronger one believed in the Light, the more powerful with it this person would become. It was similar to how the Force works in Star Wars. It’s why the Scarlet Crusade could still use it, their entire order being almost paladins from their sheer belief in the Light. This also made it very different from Nature, Elemental and Arcane magics, which brought a nice diversity to the universe. With this lore, Undeads can not be paladins because they do not believe the Light will answer them.

zamkis is correct, the onlything that matters to the light is that you believe youre doing the right thing essentially, thats how we end up with people like the scarlet crusade who are undoubtedly evil, or arch bishop benedictus etc

also its true that wielding the light hurts undead but its not fatal just excruciatingly painfull, in vanilla naxx there was one of the horsemen who was undead but his faith was so strong and his will was so strong that he continoued to use the light even as an undead.

Teh person spoken of is Sir Zeliek on of the 4 horsemen from Naxxramas.
As foor void and light how come Turalyon and Alleria haven’t blown eachother up because they have used their powers combined to interogate during the Shadows Rising book. So if what you are saying is true their combined powers being used at the same time would of blown them both up. Also wouldn’t have Anduin blown himself up when that little bit of void came out of him in the same book ?

As for Mag’har becoming Warlocs. It isn’tbeing a Warloc that turns them green it is Fel that does . Because if becoming a warlock meant the practitioner would turn green then Human, gnome, dwarf , and belf warlocks would all be green and there would be a bunch of green furry Worgen warlocks.
